Have a new project to share with you all and made this fairy tale shadow box with a mini album inside. Used the beautiful Once upon a springtime collection from Graphic 45 and I had a lot of fun fussy cut out all the images and they have all been glittered up with Diamond and Mercury Glass stickles from Ranger so it will be fun for a little girl to look at :-)

The tutorial on how to make the base of the mini album starts at 13.45 minutes in the video.

Have layered all the images to give them a 3D look :-)

When the box opens there is a fairy tale garden inside the lid with a expandable pocket to hold pockets and other things. Tree dies from Memory Box. A mini album fastened on the bottom.

Have formed the pages round a roll to make them stand up a bit.

Seen from the side. Used seam binding to hold the lid.

Scenes from the fairy tale garden.

Key hole and keys also from Graphic 45.

Left side . Fence die from LaLa Land Crafts and grass die from Memory box.

And right side

So fun fussy cut out all this beautiful images and puzzle them together :-)

Have backet them all on cream cardstock to make them more durable.

Here you can see how the pages bend up.

Some of the images are glued to the pages and some on tags that sticks under on the sides of the pages.

All the tags taken out of the pages.

There can be plased photos on or on the backside of the cut aparts.

There is also place for photos on the pages, but here I thought it would be fun to print out stories and place them on the pages :-)

Under the pages on each side there are more fairies and a photo frame.

Made a support onder on the backside so the box can be displayed in an angle.

Here you can see the folded in under the box. It is fastened with magnets.

Folds up and there is a " hidden" photo mat under :-)

Corner die from Cheery lynn and wood gate from Kaisercraft

Seen from the other side.

Made the banner with a Stampin up punch.

Just love this beautiful paper line :-)

Templates and measurements for the box.

Made 5 pages and they measure 9 x 7 for the 1 page. 2. page 9 1/4 x 7 and increase with 1/4 inch for each page and score in the middle. Set a mark every 1/2 inch in the middle and sew the pages together with the back hinge. glue the back hing to the chipboard and cover with pattern paper over on each side

Here are a couple of video tutorials on how I glue chipboard boxes together,

Love the new Precious Memories collection from Graphic 45 and decided to make a little mini album for a baby shower gift with it. This photo album is easy and fast to make and the base for the album is made out of one 12 x 12 sheet of paper :-)

Showing the album in the first 5 minutes in the video. The base for the flip page tutorial goes from 5 to 15 minutes in the video and the rest is how to decorate it with pattern paper.

Front cover of the album and it measure 7 x 5 1/2 inch

Picture of the album inside.

ot of tags in the left pocket and there is also a large tag behind the fold out page on the right.

Flap folded out to the right.

So fun fussy cut out all this beautiful images and I love the children clothes to hang up on a string.

The front of the fold out page with some tags. Behind you can see the large photo mat in the pocket.

The page base is made from Bazzill cream cardstock.
You can also make one more of this flip out page and place it on the other side inside cover instead of the pocket if you want more space for photos :-)

A photo can be placed behind the tags.

The flap folds down and here is place for journal about the baby and photos.

Then it folds up with more journaling space and place for photos.

Then it folds to the left with a photo frame and journaling spot

And at last it folds to the right.

Here the first pages folded out.

Folds out one more time.

And one more time all folded out :-)

Templates and measurements.

Flip out 6 x 4 page. Ct of the x and save one 6 x 4 for extra flip and the last for hinges.

Cut at the red lines.

Finissh cut out and attach a hinge to connect the pages.

This can also be made as a 4 x 4 fold out page and you can cut of the x`es or fold and use the whole paper.

Love this soft new paper line from Graphic 45 :-)
